Guest Post & Giveaway with Amanda J. Greene

I have always been infatuated with vampires. I love the paranormal realm. Authors have free reign to create a unique and captivating world – Scottish vampires in kilts. Heck yeah!

The first paranormal romance I had ever read was Dark Gold by Christine Feehan. I was in high school and, at the time, I wasn’t aware that is was part of a series. When I discovered there were more, I snatched them bad boys up. Then I met and fell in love with the Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters and J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood. I have way too many book boyfriends. It’s difficult to keep track.

Having ready many paranormal romance novels, my imagination went wild with story ideas. As the cliché goes, write what you love and I did! It took time to discipline myself and concentrate on one storyline at a time. I began with Caressed by Moonlight, which was originally a standalone but quickly became the first installment within the Rulers of Darkness series. I have to say, I’ve had so much fun writing these books. Especially Caressed by Shadows, Rulers of Darkness, # 4. The book is packed with action while our hero and heroin battle their enemies and their attraction for each other. The tension is high between Falcon and Sonya and when they finally succumb to their passion it is explosive. Caressed by Shadows is fast paced, romantic, and sets up the next book, Caressed by the Edge of Darkness.

The paranormal romance genre is limitless for writers. So many worlds, so many mythologies, legends, and magical abilities for characters – I look forward to working with and reading this genre for years to come!

The Rulers of Darkness series

Caressed by Moonlight

Dorian Vlakhos is no ordinary aristocrat. He is a vampire king, who will do anything to save his clan from complete annihilation, before an ancient curse can claim his immortal life.

Penniless and orphaned, Victoria Kingston has nothing to bring to a marriage, yet she must shackle an unsuspecting gentleman into marriage by the end of the month or forfeit her rights as guardian of her younger sister. With the help of her dearest friend, Victoria begins her hunt, and vows to stay far away from the dark, mysterious, Dorian Vlakhos.

After meeting the beautifully innocent Miss Kingston, Dorian had to have her. He would do absolutely anything to make Victoria his. One sweet stolen kiss would bring them together while a force, more powerful than any vampire would bind them for all eternity. But treachery, war, and death rule Dorian’s dark world and Victoria would be fortunate to survive.

Caressed by Night

Dimitri Arsov, the last remaining pure vampire, was thought to be dead for the past four hundreds years.

But as he waits for his prey to blindly step into his carefully laid trap, his overwhelming hunger for blood is triggered when he saves a beautiful art historian.

Kerstyn Ingmar’s life was normal and straight up boring until the night she is rescued by the dangerously sexy, powerfully mesmerizing, Dimitri. Unable to resist his diamond blue eyes and intense kisses, she is drawn into his world of darkness and closer to her impending doom.

While their desire consumes them, Dimitri is haunted by images of a bloody and deadly future. As his enemies draw near, he must find a way to save his mate from her destiny before fate destroys them both.

Caressed by a Crimson Moon

Consumed by madness and tormented by dark memories of blood and death, Hadrian Lucretius, King of the Validus Clan, has returned after living in self-imposed exile for nearly three hundred and fifty years.

To maintain peace with the vampires, Eva Maldonado is offered as a sacrifice to the crazed vampire king by her father, the alpha of the Silveria Shifter Pack. Hadrian’s reputation is both legendary and lethal; he is ruthless, bloodthirsty, lusty, and soulless. When Eva arrives at the ancient fortress high in the Carpathian Mountains, she is shocked to find a ravaged man with dark burning eyes filled with loneliness and dangerous desire.

Would she be his lover…or his prey? His savior…or his victim? Would Hadrian lure her into madness or would their perilous passion be their redemption?

Caressed by Shadows

But he is torn between duty and desire when the war between the vampire clans and the Red Order hunters escalates and the enemy captures the one woman he longs to claim as his own, Sonya Rebane, Queen of the Voidukas Clan. Falcon will risk everything to save her, even if it means forsaking his king.

After weeks of imprisonment, Sonya is stunned when the chivalrous knight that she has secretly loved from afar appears outside her cell. As they fight and struggle to elude their enemies, they must battle their overwhelming attraction for each other and their love that is forbidden.

As every perilous moment draws them closer together, every smoldering kiss drives them to the brink of a passionate destruction. Will they be able to resist temptation? Or will their love be their ruin?
